Adult Education
The Adult Education Program at Heartside Ministry offers individualized tutoring for adults whose science, social studies, reading comprehension, writing and mathematics skills/knowledge range from minimal to the High School level. We work with learners to bring their proficiencies to that of a high school graduate; and they are encouraged to take (and pass) the five Generalized Education Development exams—before taking the GED exams, learners are pretested, assuring that they are ready.
Our hope (and experience) is that cultivating language and mathematics skills as wells as general science and social studies knowledge will empower the learners: first, by allowing them to better navigate their day-to-day (i.e. understand a contract or cooking directions, count out change, etc). Second, GED certification opens the door to job opportunities and/or to going to college.
If you are interested in being tutored or tutoring please contact the ministry at (616) 235-7211.
